[[dido:99_annexes:annex-d-requirements:part-02:start| Return to Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_record|Logical Record]] SHALL represent a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_data_structure_instance|Logical Data Structure Instance]] preserved for continuity, review, audit, provenance, replay, reconstruction, or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]].

===== Source =====

Part 2, Section 16.5: Logical Information Requirements.

===== Rationale =====

Logical Records preserve information beyond its immediate operational use. They provide the platform-independent foundation for auditability, provenance, replay, reconstruction, governance, and evidence planning while remaining independent of storage technologies and implementation mechanisms.

===== Applies To =====

This requirement applies to the Logical Information Model.

It applies specifically to:

  * Logical Records;
  * Logical Data Structure Instances;
  * Audit and Provenance activities; and
  * Evidence planning.

===== Verification =====

Verification SHALL confirm that each Logical Record represents a preserved Logical Data Structure Instance.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

  * Logical Records are explicitly identified;
  * preserved information supports one or more stated architectural purposes;
  * Logical Records remain platform independent; and
  * implementation technologies do not redefine Logical Records.

===== Traceability =====

This requirement supports traceability between Logical Records, preserved Logical Data Structure Instances, audit information, provenance information, and evidence expectations.
